Electron Configuration and Energy Level Diagrams
Electron Configurations
shows the specific placement of electrons within an energy level
orbitals are the sub-levels of an energy level, and
can hold a maximum of two electrons
four types of orbitals exist
s orbital: single
p orbital: group of 3
d orbital: group of 5
f orbital: group of 7
every energy level has an s orbital, p orbitals are found at energy level 2 and above, d orbitals are found at energy 3 and above, f orbitals at energy level 4 and above
some orbitals at a higher energy level are closer to the nucleus due to overlapping
Example electron configuration for europium, Eu:
Example short form electron configuration for darmstadtium, Ds.
